Recent subscriber here. Just wanted to say thank you for documenting your restoration! I just started the process of restoring my '75 Sovereign and, suffice it so say, I'm overwhelmed! I'm feeling a little more hopeful after finding this great resource though. Keep up the good work!

Thats awesome! It certainly can be overwhelming when you start, and in the middle.... lol. I am glad to be able to help and if you have any questions just reach out! More content is on the way!

That looked crazy scary when the wind picked up!

It was a little intense! So glad I had help there that day.

I’m noticing that you used different bracing than in your 3 Day Subfloor Replacement video. Do you have a diagram or more photos of the bracing you used anywhere? We’re getting ready to lift the shell on our ‘77 Sovereign, and I was wondering about the setup of the diagonal pieces you used. Thanks! Love your videos; they’ve been so helpful.

Got the subfloor out on ours to find some outriggers and c channel needs to be replaced. Going to be using this method to lift the shell. wish us luck! 🤘

That looks pretty nerve-wracking! Great job with it though! :)

Thanks, it was a little crazy. If I were to do it again, I would want to find a way to do a gantry lift and just remove the frame completely. But it worked and its going well!

Ian, thank you for posting this video! For my 77 Airstream LY, looking to pull the shell as well. I noticed that the buck rivets are removed from the straight segments of c channel but should we leave the curved c channel sections attached to the shell for the lift/subfloor replacement? Or do we need to remove the c channel from the front and rear ends of the trailer as well? Thanks!

I was wondering if you just atached the 2x4 with screws to the ribs? Also how many hours did you work on this airstream? Thanks for doing these videos it has helped me tremendously!

Yes, I screwed through the rib first with self tapping screws into the wood. Umm, I have no idea! Haha. The first one I would say easier in excess of 500 hours. A lot of that was learning. You are welcome!

whats the background music? digging it.

I am so glad you didn't end up on the youtube deaths channel! My bottom was twitching with pure fear! I like the pole jack method you are using that would work in my situation with having limited space. I think you have everything set up great! Stay safe and good luck!

@@MillerGarage it is great to see the progress I love it! Do you have any interior plans yet?

IAN! DUDE! You almost got us killed!!! That thing was swayin' FOR REAL! Ha ha haaaa ha! My nerves were shot for a minute there! We figured it out though, and all was well. I may think twice now before answering my phone when I see your name pop up, you owe me a beer man! Just kidding, always glad to help...steady on my friend!
